i have to do a performance of an australian piece of music for my music assessment, but i can't manage to find any songs with bass parts that are interesting or hard enough to get me a decent mark.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Do You Love Me?
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
Nick cave and The Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!
Pete Murray - Tonic
The Vines - Factory
The Vines - Outtathaway!
John Butler Trio - Zebra
John Butler Trio - Treat Yo Mamma
John Butler Trio - There'll Come A Time (if you nailed the quick semi-quavers cleanly you'd probablly get a good mark for chops too)

| | | | Try a track off Tommy Emmanuel's Determination CD. Rob Little on bass for most of the tracks I think. |

LRB even; Roger McLaughlin on bass.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Ric Fierabracci might be Aussie?

One of my favorite funk bass lines is off My Baby's Cheating if you can get a copy of Rawville. http://www.myspace.com/thebamboos
Maybe listen to Step It Up or The Bamboos Theme off their site to give you an idea.
Or there's always Tal Wilkenfeld... That should be hard enough

The Spies were a trio that played some really kickin' Rock n Roll back in the '80's & early 90's. They gained quite a rep as a great club band that would totally rock the joint every night.
Albums: "A.O Mod. TV Ver." & "Harry's Reasons" are 2 of my all-time favorite albums. Great tracks, with killer driving bass throughout.
Songs: If you're looking for something interesting and driving, listen to "A.O. Mod" off the Xenophobia (Why?) album.
Truly underrated everywhere except Australia. I still listen to them almost daily.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Western Australia | | | i'd definately reccommend some of the living end's earlier stuff... theres some great lines there... umm also the bassist from Hunters and Collectors... check out their stuff such as When the river runs dry... umm the DiVINyls also have some great lines...also..what type of exam is it? uni or school? ... why not check out some of the great australian jazz quartets? analyse a walking line... ??? play the head, followed by a walking line, solo then back to the head??? With conservatoriums such as WAAPA all around the counrty there are plenty of virtuoso players on our rich jazz scene.. hit it up!
